[2.6] THE NEW FAKENER | DISCHARGE | SUPER FAST STRANDS | Cospris Malice | 9k+ ES | STILL GREAT AOE

Really nice build, but I have a noob question, i'm probably missing something really obvious...
Currently I can't have 2 puritys + discipline, cause I have only 1 4% reduce mana node, so each aura have 34% reserved mana. So i'm stuck with purity of element and so no +maximum resistances. What am I missing? Should I take Charisma (assassin)?

Edit: Ok noob indead, missed the enlighten...

Hi guys! I have a lot of gg discharge gear from the old days, and am doubling down and making a CI/cospri guy along the lines of this build. I haven't played discharge for 2 patches, so I really wanted to draw on you guys for some wisdom with decision making to min-max around my gear. Incoming wall of text! Thanks in advance for any feedback.

A bunch of questions:

- I have a +1 curse voll ammy, and want to make the best use of it possible. I am able to cap res without purities... is the best choice for dual curse to go blasphemy - enlight - assass mark - warlords, then to have enlighten - disc elsewhere? Are these the two most helpful curses? I also have ele weak on hit malig, but it seems bad as I lose soo much ES from my normal gloves (and much needed acc), and I feel I need the warlord's to deal with reflect without purities.

-With the dual curse aura + disc setup, I don't have room or reserve for herald of ice - ice bite - innervate - crit strikes. Is it that good? Am I really missing out?

-I have a +1 level corrupted 6L voll chest, which is sadly not as good as it used to be since 6L is mainly support. Unfortunately it's nearly impossible to color, but I am going to take a shot at it with the 1G vorici recipe and will likely manage to hit 3G and either 2B1R or 2R1B before I run out of currency. What are the best options to take advantage of the +1 level? I have stacked acc in my helm/gloves/rings, so I can drop added acc from the 6L. I am looking at cyclone - coc - blade vortex - inc crit chance as the 4 mandatory gems... leaving 2 slots. I know that they should ideally be faster attacks and pcoc... but what do you consider the best options if I'm unable to get 4G2B? I am thinking that these 2 slots will go to some combo of fortify/immortal call/pcoc. The +1 is really impactful with spells... is there any spell that would be preferable over the 3 skills above if I can't hit a 4th green? Another discharge or maybe ice nova (adds ele equilib to big aoe, and is over 15k dps 2x/sec)?

-Given that I am going 4% leech with warlords + LL gem... is vinktar's even better than a surgeon's (legacy) topaz flask with a utility mod? I am imagining reflect will be fine with 9k es + 4% leech.

-Similarly, should I be running dying sun or a surgeon's ruby flask with utility? This I guess is just simpler... run dying sun for all but the hardest maps for clear speed, and swap to surgeons ruby for consistency on hard maps?

-Is blood rage actually good here? I am confused... 4% phys dmg as ES/sec seems like a lot just to gain a bit of attack speed. If I go with immortal call being in my 6L... I guess I'd be phys immune and this wouldn't be an issue?

-Perhaps one of the most important questions... what is the deal with attack speed? If I have 7 aps on cyclone, that is 14 hits per sec. We have a .1s cooldown... so doesn't that mean I can never proc 2 hits in a row (as the 2nd comes before .1 sec has refreshed)? So, at 7 aps I am actually getting 7 max procs/sec? Does this mean we want exactly 5 aps so you have the potential for 10 procs?

Thanks for wading through all of this! Appreciate your input guys.

I currently have a 4G2R Volls Protector. Not sure if lucky or unlucky but they came out as 2 reds. Was wondering if this was a viable option and if so what gems I should be using for the 2 reds? Thank you.

Hi guys, just swapped to this build after the freezerator (was an awesome one). Got all the items and skill tree, looking for the way to improve - could somebody please advice on what is bad about my items and what should i change/upgrade right away? My profile should be public for now, thanks in advance :)
P.S. Except the skill gems lvl - i know they are low, just got the fresh and lvling em up

I see nothing wrong besides get the jewel socket next to vaal pact and try to get 3 stat jewels with 2 of the stats being crit multi.

As you mentioned the gems need leveling up badly. 5 gem levels on discharge should double your damage almost.

Thanks for your analysis, really appreciate it. About the jewel socket - did i miss a skill point somewhere or that's just a goal for lvl 91?

It's just inefficient to take the jewel socket to the left of it for 3 points; 6 atk speed & jewel socket.

Versus taking the 1 point jewel socket first and putting 2 points into 12% ES, or even 8% atk speed if you prefer that, until you can take both at 91.

2 reds completely unviable since crit strikes gem is absolutely necessary

What's up Mad !

Would you take some time to check my gear on my character (character name = BakedChick) and tell me what I could improve for better damage?

Only thing I see is level 21 discharge...

Sure. Your gear is good aswell as your tree. You just need a helmet enchant and a boots enchant.


Attacks speed for greedy clear speed. Leech for extra survival. Stun for best survival.

Try to get a 30% chance to not consume charges helmet, They are VERY expensive so you might have to go with a 40% damage one, or even radius for clear speed, if we're really trying to optimize your stuff here.

One of your rings is really bad, find a better one and multimod it.

Re-enchant your gloves "word of flames" is bad. You don't want anything that does elemental damage besides cold.

You've gone for double multi jewels which is very good. The next upgrade is triple multi jewels.

Divine your malice to 13+ attack speed. (can be hard :( )

21 discharge.
